Lyme Disease Support Group

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

anyone try IVIG

I've been going to a new neurologist and he's having me do all these tests (MRI, EEG,neurological cognitive testing, spinal tap). He thinks than after you've been on antibiotics for at least 4 mos that the infection is gone, but you immune system is severely damaged and may even keep mimicking the lyme symptoms, so that you always stay feeling bad. To help this he suggested a procedure called an IVIG in which you get healthy antibodies put into your body by IV. They do a skin sample first to see if your immune system has been compromised and if so do this treatment. So I was just wondering if anyone knows or has any experience with this. Thanks, Kris

In &quot;the lyme disease solution book&quot; by Kenneth Singleton it says on pg 305 &quot;Another potentially useful anti-inflammatory therapy is intravenous immune globulin (IVIg) Particularly helpful when gamma globulin levels are depressed, this very expensive therapy may be valuable for chronic neurological system inflammation related to Lyme. Insurance coverage is often a barrier to use of this therapy&quot;
